This Rarity song was something I wrote that was all about why I got into music in the first place: the only thing that rivals the joy I personally get when I come up with a new song is sharing it with others. I feel like it’s an artist’s duty to try to inspire others and share that kind of fire that drives us to create. To the end of time, it’s a passion we need to pass on from one to another.
I can’t think of any other pony who better represents that idea more than Rarity! I instantly fell in love with the season five episode “Canterlot Carousel” and was inspired right away by its message. This song is dedicated to any and all who feel the passion to create art that they love.
lyrics
I always put in my heart and soul
Every cloak, every scarf, and every dress
Deserves TLC and I’ll play my role
To further my vision and success
I’m driven by all that I see
Nothing in this world warms my heart
Like knowing I helped set a passion free
That my work inspired a new start
We create and innovate
Ignite inspiration far and wide
To make a gem that comes from inside
And it’s always a job well done
When I pass that feeling on
From one to another
The bits are nice and keep me going
But they do not bring the ultimate prize
When I finish the pattern and sewing
It’s seeing the joy in my client’s eyes
We all add our links to the great chain
Innovation and passion are the tools
Our links rise above the mundane
And mine is covered in fabulous jewels
We create and innovate
Ignite inspiration far and wide
To make a gem that comes from inside
And it’s always a job well done
When I pass that feeling on
From one to another
I will not be here forever
The day may come when I set down the thread
Yet despite ending my loving labor
I will never stop looking ahead
While we create, never duplicate
Ignite inspiration far and wide
To make a gem that comes from inside
And it’s always a job well done
When I pass that feeling on
From one to another
From one to another
